In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year. For me, it is all of those things plus a time when I u...

Combined with real-world scenarios and use cases, the Enterprise IoT Bootcamp, led by Janakiram MSV, an analyst, advisor and an architect at Janakiram & Associates, is not just based on presentations but includes hands-on demos and detailed walkthroughs. He will introduce you to a variety of real world use cases prototyped using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Spark, and Intel Edison. You will get a thorough overview of enterprise cloud technologies such as AWS IoT, Azure IoT Suite, and IBM Watson IoT, which play an important role in IoT architecture. The immersive two-day workshop will provide you with everything you wanted to know about Internet of Things.

Internet of Things (IoT) is more than just a buzzword. According to Gartner, IoT revenue from products and services will exceed $300 billion in 2020. IDC forecasts that the worldwide market for IoT solutions will grow to $7.1 trillion by 2020. Every major player from the software industry is investing in IoT. Platform companies such as Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft are building platforms to enable developers to build IoT solutions. Industry giants like Bosch, Cisco, Intel, and GE are bringing IoT to both consumers and enterprises.

The convergence of devices, cloud and analytics is creating a perfect storm for developers and IT professionals. It presents a great opportunity to design, develop and deploy next generation solutions that touch millions of users. This is the right time for technology and business decision makers to evaluate IoT and its impact on their businesses.
